The research focus of LEAP Lab (Light Engineering and Applied Photonics) is interdisciplinary in nature, primarily in the field of Medical Optics. It addresses the challenges in biomedical diagnostic devices, including microscopic and macroscopic investigations of cells and tissues. The current emphasis of the group is on developing novel optical tools for intraoperative cancer margin assessment, intraoral cancer probe, and transvaginal imaging probe.

Thrust Areas: 

1. Multispectral Diffuse Optical Imaging (MDOI) based Intraoral Imaging Probe for Oral Cancer Diagnosis 

2. Multispectral Diffuse Optical Imaging (MDOI) based Transvaginal Imaging Probe for Cervical Cancer Diagnosis

3. Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy based Optical Probe for Breast Cancer Margin Assessment
